Those Crafty Kids

Children’s museums, science museums, the aquarium, the movies, the bowling alley . . . your kids have run you ragged, not to mention emptied your wallet. Since it's still way too cold for the playground, it's time for some quiet creative time at home. On eBay auctions, there are over 32,000 online listings with the term "kids crafts"—that's enough kids art project options to outfit a city’s worth of preschools, and then some.
